Italian Scotland is a charity registered in Scotland and recognised by the Italian Government, which promotes Italian culture, language, and life in Scotland.
Timed for the Burns season in late January at the splendid new venue of the The Marlborough in Shawlands, it brings together Scotland’s Bard and Italy’s great poet Giovanni Pascoli for a funny and thought-provoking meeting in the afterlife.
Don’t miss Italian Scotland’s next event for adults … the ultimate ‘Italo scozzese’ play at its first public performance in Glasgow. 🇮🇹🏴
Ticket (£12 plus £1.70 booking fee) includes welcome glass of Prosecco (of course!)
